A Word of Science (subtitled The First and Final Chapter) is the debut studio album by British electronic producers Nightmares on Wax. Released by Warp Records in September 1991, it is the act's only album as a group before it became a solo vehicle for George Evelyn. Evelyn nonetheless recorded and produced the album alone, incorporating samples and elements from demo tapes he made in the late 1980s. Although Nightmares on Wax debuted with two well-received techno singles in 1989-1990, A Word of Science is eclectic and largely moves the act towards a more mellow style influenced by funk, soul and hip hop, while still incorporating techno and house styles.
Upon release, A Word of Science failed to chart, but received acclaim for its fusion of disparate styles, despite alienating several listeners expecting more of the group's straightforward techno style. The album has gone on to be considered an important blueprint for the trip hop and downtempo genres that emerged in the 1990s, as well as an important milestone in electronic music intended for home listening.
